AT

Time Cataclysm

I want to say Advanced, because Advanced is more fun, but since Advanced Ennead is one of the toughest fights this game has to offer I'll leave it open to the players. Roll up, roll up! All are welcome, just pick a hero on the list, draw an opening hand and prepare to be slau- err, fight the good fight! :D

I'm alsways up for Advanced Ennead.  Regular is fun, but advanced is my favorite fight in the game.

As for who, I'd play anyone but prefer Fixer

Count me in! I'll take Fixer

BlueHairedMeerkat, are you taking a hero? i wouldn't mind joining but I have been in the first 3 games. If you still need someone I will join, but let's see if anyone else wants to first.

I might take a hero, but probably not. I'm content just running stuff for this game.

I'll take any hero, probably whoever that is left unpicked.

 I'm up for advance too.

Ha, it's funny that everyone wants to be Mr. Fixer what with all the threads on here about how broken he is supposed to be

I am up for this one, no preference on which hero as it appears that I missed the Mr Fixer boat already. Then again, on the back of all the old discussions about Four Legacies and Four Ra's, is the world ready yet for Four Fixers???

Four Fixers would be amazing, all multi-target damage gets redirected, grease gun + slavage yards all over the place, nothing but irreducible damage. Would be fun

Let's do this! Pydro's in (assuming he wants to be), because that way we get five, and I've slotted y'all into the hero slots in the order you turned up.

Visionary opening hand: Prophetic Vision, Cerebral Heorrahage, Psychic Maelstrom, Brain Burn. 

A couple of things about Visionary: I will need some suggestions on when/who to use the cards/power on. Right now I have Prophetic Vision and Enlighten.

Also, I found it useful to setup a google doc with all the key pieces of information. It puts most of the thigs you will need to know on a single page.

Don't forget to change the title of the thread to Advanced and take out "players wanted."

Additional Effects: None

-----------------

Notes: I will probably play Mental Divergance next turn, unless there is a serious need for Mass Levitation

I would assume Wraith might want it depending on opening draw.  I'm fine and it seems like Fixer has a strong hand with Meditation

I'd be inclined to say Enlighten yourself,
would be good to get some Precognitions or Twist the Ethers. Starting out with 7 of them on the first turn . . . Yeesh. But I guess we don't know the starting hand of the others yet.

EDIT: But yeah, I agree, definitely skip me regardless.

Ok, will wait for Wraith's starting hand. We need to wait for the top 3 environment cards anyways. At least I know which card to discard if I Enlighten myself (1 damage to 3 targets, bleh..someone take her out).

We have a Rift in Time, a Charging Triceratops and a Crushing Hallway.

No Crushing Hallway.  If we don't do any more damage this round to Nuit, Trice will hit her for 3, otherwise it'd be Tempest.  rift in Time could be useful if I find a Dominion

No crushing Hallway. :) Felt is was worth repeating. Dino does damage at the start of the turn, so we would not have to hit her all of next round too. Might still be worth it though. Also make sure Crushing Hallway is the bottom card.

Actually, I bet we could take down some of the others to be hit by the Dino.  Either way, probably the safest choice, though Rift in Time is always fun

I think this is the point where we say: "What is Tempy and Wrath holding?"

Wraith has a slightly less than useful opening hand, with x2 combat stance, suture self, and trust fund. I guess I will trust fund then hit Nuit for 1. Wraith has a habit of churning her deck unassisted and Visionary is a pain without just the right cards so I'd suggest Visionary use her power on herself.

I fixed my turn. i am out until tomorrow night, so you can figure out which environment card to put on top. If it manages to hit my turn again before I can log on again, just skip it (if it doesn't matter) and I will take my turn when I can.

I’ll get my deck on Monday, will update then.

Looking through the decks, I noticed that there are no Ongoings to destroy. :( So I am not going to play Mental Divergence as it would only be fodder for something like Ancient Magicks (unless you want it to be). If that ever comes out, I will play Mental Divergence to gain back whatever essential Ongoing we need. (Just thinking out loud here.)

Did we agree on the dino?

BlueHairedMeerkat if you get a chance can you put down a symbol (or just a number) by each of the villains indicating which symbol they activate on. If possible could you also put down the symbol (or number) of the card being played?

EDIT: Thanks!

Thoughts: Impromptu invention probably for Throwing Knives seeing as we are up against multiple targets, but they won't be much use without the Micro Targeting Computer. I could just go for a Razor Ordnance but feel like I'll end up kicking myself if the MTC then comes out soon after. Or I could dig for the MTC and wait for either of the two projectile weapons to pop up?

Wraith'll take the hits, seeing as I have two healing cards in hand.

note to self: Wraith now on 20HP

I would say RO for Wraith. AoE would be great once we get rid of the 1 DR, which is hindering a bunch of people. I think the focus now should be Nuit, which means a single target heavy hitter. It might take a couple of rounds anyways to kill her, which would give you a couple of chances to TK, II, or even MTC.

Haka will take the optional damage since I have Te Moko out

Hand:  Psychic Maelstrom, Telekinetic Cocoon, Mental Divergence, Mass Levitation, Wrest the Mind, Precognition

 In Play: Mass Levitation

Trash: Prophetic Vision, Cerebral Hemorrhage, Brain Burn

Additional Effects: None

-----------------

Notes: Played Mass Levitation as fodder in case we need to destroy Ongoings (and ended up drawing another one). I decided to Enlighten myself (sorry Fixer), because right now I have nothing to do.

Nephthys took 1 from the Jack Handle as well, taking her down to 27

No worries. I can still Charge next turn anyways, get a little bit more damage on everyone. Added Nephthys to the damage list

I need a better hand, I will play Gene Bound Shackles. After that, should sacrifice shackles or winds for my power? I’m thinking winds…

I vote winds

Probably winds. I don't think they do too many big hits of damage, but I could be wrong. And in the right situation, Shackles can get the boost to lots of the Ennead if you do it in the right order.

Tempest

HP: 23

Hand:  Gene-Bound Shackles, Reclaim from the Deep, Into the Stratosphere, Ball Lightning.

Wraith Price of Freedom

HP: 20

Hand: Suture Self, Impromptu Invention, Grappling Hook, Stun Bolt, Mega Computer, Suture Self

In Play: None

Trash: Trust Fund, Combat Stance, Combat Stance

-----------------

Play a Card: Impromptu Invention (draws Throwing Knives - yay! - searches for MTC and puts into play. Then plays Throwing Knives)

Use a Power: Throwing Knives, 3 to Nuit and 2 each to Isis and Set (I'm just targeting the weakest here, happy to change the targets if we agree a strategy for who we want to pick off first)

Draw a Card: Infrared Eyepiece

-----------------

HP: 20

Hand:  Suture Self, Grappling Hook, Stun Bolt, Mega Computer, Suture Self, Infrared Eyepiece

In Play: Micro Targeting Computer, Throwing Knives

Trash: Trust Fund, Combat Stance, Combat Stance, Impromptu Invention

-----------------

Thoughts: the MTC ultimately seemed the better bet with Throwing Knives already in hand, although Utility Belt did cross my mind. I'll probably Suture Self and use the Knives for the next couple of rounds unless there is a pressing need for the Grappling Hook, or I draw something that lets me drill my deck again. Ditching both Combat Stances was probably a bit of a brain fart although I would have been reticent to put them into play before Haka goes on a rampage anyway.

In Play: Mass Levitation

Trash: Prophetic Vision, Cerebral Hemorrhage, Brain Burn, Psychic Maelstrom, Wrest the Mind

Additional Effects: None

-----------------

Notes: Well I got a few cards I can play for the next for rounds.

Wrest the Mind in this game is probably only good on the Dino, seeing as it is dead now Wrest the Mind will probably be fairly useless for awhile.

I think Precog is a good play this turn., especially since Warith has the Eyepiece in hand.  Depending on how much more set up we want, I can Ground Pound next turn and the Rampage the turn after

Oh, I can totally take the extra 2. I was confused by Geb's damage, thought it was two "or"s. I'm thinking Fixer is probably going to go "blaze of glory" at the end of this game anyways.

Doesn't matter to me. I think the only issue is whoever takes it will have the lowest hero HP.

Re Fixer:  If you let me know when you plan for play Bloody Knuckles, I can make sure to Rampage the turn before it's in play as to not hit you more.  Or If I Ground Pound next round you can play it safely

I went ahead and edited, took the damage. I was thinking (stop me if this is a dumb idea), I could always Bloody Knuckles and then have Visionary pop it after my turn so I wouldn't have to worry about the extra damage.

I have no problem with that, it would only cost me an Enlighten. If Haka is going to Ground Pound, it would be a good idea to use it that round. Regardless I could always bring Bloody Knuckles or Ground Pound back after they are used.

Ah, good point, I hadn't thought of the other use of Mental Divergence. Well, I guess we don't need to decide for sure just yet. Precognition definitely seems like the thing to do now, by next round we'll see if we're in enough danger to need a Ground Pound.

i can put the eyepece out but i'm unlikely to want to use it over the knives just yet. out of interest, is Tempest going to be able to hit Nuit for 5 this turn? It might actually be better if Visionary goes on the attack if we can make sure of laying out Nuit this round. Then again, I don't have my cards right now so i'm not sure of what his incap is ;)

"At the Start of the environment turn, shuffle the environment trash into the environment deck." I do have Psychic Maelstrom I can play one the 1 DR is over with. Other than that, I would have to draw some cards.

I think we're still waiting on what Tempest drew last turn with the Freedom power. Hopefully there will be a nuke or something.

aye, I think we should wait for Tempest to finish out before we move any further forward as we are at a bit of a balance point regarding how we set ourselves up for this villain turn. I would definitely prefer to incap Nuit this round if we have the capability - what Visionary might lose on the DR I would only gain on the knives so it might be a good move depending on Tempest's capabilities

In that case I will take back the Precog and wait for Tempy.

I know everyone is waiting for my move. However, due to some work arrangements, I won't see my Sentinels deck until Thursday evening.

Will someone help me with my draw (I need to draw 4 cards in total), then I can still make my play via the forums.

Thanks!

Tempest draws Cleansing Downpour, Reclaim from the Deep, Electrical Storm, Localized Hurricane

OK, it doesn't look like we can kill her this turn. Maelstrom of Precog?

Well, if Visionary could do one damage, Tempest could use Ball Lightning on her and then Wraith could finish her off

Then I completely missed counted Maelstrom it is (missed the newest numbers). Editing my turn.

EDIT: Done.

EDIT2: Where is the best place to put Twist the Ether here?

Tempest

HP: 18

Hand:  Reclaim from the Deep x 2, Into the Stratosphere, Ball Lightning, Cleansing Downpour, Electrical Storm, Localized Hurricane.

HP: 18

In Play: Gene-Bound Shackles

Trash: Shielding Winds, Ball Lightning.

Additional Effects: +2 damage dealt by Tempest to highest villain target.

Twist the Ether could go a couple of ways, seems like:

1. Put it on Haka to buff Rampage, let it hit Shu, mitigate the hero damage

2. Put it on Fixer preferably before an Overdrive

I guess Wraith could also use it to help with Shu's immunities, but Wraith is less set up for multiple damage sources at the moment. #1 is probably better short-term, #2 is better long-term since Fixer's hitting everyone will continue (fingers crossed). What do you guys think?

Wraith puts the eyepiece into play, uses the knives to incap Nuit and deal 3 damage to each of isis and set, draws utility belt. At 13 HP i'm not sure Wraith will last much more than one maybe two rounds, especially if Haka goes on a rampage, so I will ditch stun bolt to kill off the smog as I need to suture next turn. I'm on a mobile device so will write up my turn properly tomorrow!

I agree that Fixer is the best recipient of Twist the Ether.

I will Ground Pound next round so that Wraith can Suture, Tempest can cleanse, etc

Don't have smog in front of me, but I have a couple of cards I can dump. I have no problem Twisting Fixer, but there might be another option.Keep Stun Bolt, and Between Stun Bolt and Twisting one of the villians, we can nullify all of those "all heroes take 1 damage."

good-o. Depending on damage dealt by the Ennead this turn I might use the opportunity to put utility belt out so that I can start using the eyepiece to hopefully help in giving us a bit of respite from the damage we are taking, or to allow me to use grappling hook if we need it without slowing down on the damage dealing.

well i can put stun bolts out after the utilty belt but may have to suture inbetween so might not get a chance to use it effectively. I think the net gain will probably be higher by giving it to fixer, so long as we can stay alive long enough to make use of it! Deck control might end up  being a bigger help over the next couple of rounds in manipulating how mich damage is being dealt by the villains.

I have 2 Precogs I plan on using right after Twist.

as an addendum I think we have every chance of putting down at least two more of the ennead before they get a chance to deal damage again (after this turn) so i'm all for dishing out maximum damage over the next three rounds to set us up for the end game :-)

Fixer it is, but I don’t think you should dump Stun Bolt just yet.

yes, i agree. If no-one else'can ditch a card I will toss'out the mega computer instead.

Sorry, I'm not looking at my cards right now. Are we discussing discarding to get rid of the smog? Cause I can definitely lose Riveting Crane

I can discard Wrest the Mind and Mass Levitation.

so, a quick chat about strategy? Haka will Ground Pound, Visionary will twist Fixer who can then go into overdrive, Wraith will Utility Belt and double up on damage if it incaps villains, or use the eyepiece if not. Tempest..? And then maximum carnage the round after with visionary and/or wraith manipulating the villain deck as much as possible to minimise damage, Haka saving up the rampage for a grand finale?

Anyone in the cheap seats have any suggestions?

Well, I go before Visionary, should I use Bloody Knuckles next turn since Haka is Ground Pounding?

I would say yes to Bloddy Knuckles. Also, Tempy has Cleansing this turn, Electrical next (unless he draws a big hitter), and can use reclaim to get back Overdrive/Bloody Knuckles for Fixer, Ground Pound/Rampage for Haka, Psychic Maelstrom/Precognition for me, Ball Lightning for Tempy, and Combat Stance for Wrath.

Also, who needs Enlighten. I have a few cards to use the next couple of turns, so I don't need it right now. I am thinking Fixer so that he can get Harmony.

If we're into carnage, Tempest can play Localized Hurricane to help out. Otherwise, Tempest will Cleansing Downpour.

Edit: Come to think of it, since Ground Pound is in play, I will go with Localized Hurricane to hit the highest hp villain with Shackles, then next turn have the option to repeat that or sacrifice Hurricane to draw cards if hp is dangerously low.

returning ground pound might be a good idea, all their cards are one shots so there is no downside in using it as it effectively skips the villain turn (and with Time Cataclysm, quite possibly the environment turn too).

So everyone tales 10 damage and has to discard a card. We also have to destroy 4 equipment cards. Hmmmm…not feeling so confident anymore. Also some needed to discard a card for smog (I can do that if need be).

Just one to get rid of smog? I'll discard Riveting Crane, never gonna use it. Then Pipe Wrench

EDIT: Crap, do we have enough equipment for me to save Jack Handle? Because I'm going to be useless without it

EDIT 2: God, what I wouldn't give for a Grease Gun . . .

EDIT 3: If I still have Jack Handle in play, don't I get a free shot at them instead of dealing damage to myself?

Warith has two, I can ditch Taiaha, and Tempest could ditch the Shackles to save Jack Handle.  In retrospect, should have ground pounded last turn, though it wouldnt have saved our equipment.  And yes, you should get to hit them all instead of yourself.

Haka will take a total of 7 damage thanks to Te Moko

Fixed the villain post to account for Fixer's smashiness, and also for the fact that self-harm isn't boosted by villain damage boosts (though Haka still takes seven cos of the Tendrils).

Well, there's Harmony, don't know how much difference it's going to make now.

Well I don’t have my deck right now. Discarding Mass Levitation or Wrest the Mind (which one do you think?). Playing Twist (unless someone thinks I should Precog). Also if nobody needs the Enlighten I will take it.

Probably Mass Levitation, unlikely it's going to be the environment that murders us at this point I'm guessing.

Twist for sure, since we're not taking damage it's less useful to Precog for now.

Haka, if you need to Rampage next turn, I give you permission to further bloody my knuckles hehe

Anyone know PoF Wraith's incap abilities? Anything that might make a difference?

-One Players draw a card

-Destroy 1 Environment Card

-Put an ongoing from one hero's trash on top of their deck

Hake would love Enlighten, especially if I'm going to get Ground Pound back.  Tempest doesn't have to worry about Reclaim this turn with Wraith's ability.  Also, Set should be at 13 after Fixer's strike

I’ll be away for a few days so feel free to automate my turn!

So do we want to use Wraith's Incap power to take out the Tendrils or have someone draw?

Tendrils isn't bothering us this turn, but haka needs cards. Not only are there 2 Reclaims, but I can use Mental Divurgence to bring it back also. The problem is, Haka will need the cards to discard. If Tempy uses Reclaim, and I use Enlighten, with Wraiths draw, and Hakas, natural draw, we should be able to get him the cards he needs. Even better if he draws the second Ground Pound.

Agreed, give Haka the draw. Seems like chaining Ground Pounds as best we can might be our best chance of making it through this thing.

Ok drawing for Haka. Haka of Restoration (aka discard fodder)

Do you guys think I should play Harmony or Overdrive on my next turn? If I Harmony first I can set up for 8 damage to everyone the turn after . . . but I might not make it that long.

Next turn:

Haka - Draws 2

Fixer - Overdrive

Visionary - Precog, Enlighten Haka

Tempy - Reclaim Ground Pound/Overdrive/Precog, Either heals us or does damage

Wraths - Haka Draws

Turn After:

Haka - Ground Pounds

Fixer - Harmony

Visionary - Precog, Enlighten Haka

Tempy - Either heals us or does damage

Wraith - Haka draws

Turn After

Haka - draws 2

Fixer - Overdrive

Visonary - Precog, Enlighten Haka

Tempy - Reclaim Ground Pound/Overdrive/Precog Either heals us or does damage

Wrath - Haka draws.

Etc.

I played Twist this turn, but realized if we get the Ongoing destruction card we might be in trouble. Should I change it to a Precog this turn?

We have enough ongoing to scarifice to it (It's H-1) that we could keep both Ground Pound and Twist in Play

Notes: Great job on the villain turn BHM!

Draw Haka of Battle, Rampage, discard Mere

How many cards do you have now?

6, including another Ground Pound

That's great! With Reclaim and the second GP, you can prevent all damage for the next couple of rounds.

EDIT: Ok thinking out loud here. The 2 Reclaims can constantly be recylced, right? Which means you can bring back GP every round. With Haka's natural card draw, plus Enlighten and Wraith's incap ability, he will always draw GP and have 2 more cards to discard. This means that starting next round we can GP every time. I guess the only issue is will we survive this one. I guess with Precognition we have a chance, at least we will know this turn if we won. Someone please double check this. The only thing that can really hurt us is if we get the Ongoing destruction card a couple of times in a row. I can Precog every turn (with reclaim). The problem is, nobody except me can drop Ongoings, everyone else is busy.

Tempest in fact can reclaim his other reclaim. So pretty much Ground Pound every turn, with a precog every turn, there is almost no chance of losing. It's almost like cheating!

So it is going to come down to how much damage they do next turn. I did play Precog which should help (unless someone thinks Cocoon would be better). Also, Tempy does have a Cleansing Downpour for 2 extra HP all around.

Start of Hero Turn: None

Play a Card: Electrical Storm

Use a Power: Localized Hurricane, dealing 3 damage to Geb and Tefnut. (Tefnut 18, Geb 21, Isis 10, Set 5, Osiris 19, Atum 20, Nephthys 20, Shu 17)

Draw a Card: Grievous Hailstorm

End of Hero Turn: None

HP: 9

Hand: Reclaim from the Deep x 2, Cleansing Downpour, Otherworldly Resilience x 2, Ball Lightning, Aquatic Correspondence, Grievous Hailstorm.

In Play: Localized Hurricane, Electrical Storm.

Trash: Shielding Winds, Ball Lightning, Gene-Bound Shackles, Into the Stratosphere, Localized Hurricane.

Additional Effects: none

-----------------

Cool. Grievous Hailstorm! Next turn, if I play Reclaim, I may want to take back Gene-Bound Shackles to deal more damage to villains with higher HP.

Actually we are still waiting on what Precognition will tell us (unless someone thinks Cocoon would be better), but that would probably be a good play anyways. Depending on Precog, it might be necessary to use Cleansing this round. If we survive this round, the game should essentially be ours.

EDIT: The extra 2 hp to everyone could be worth it compared to the extra damage Tempy takes. Even if Tempy dies, we sould still win. His power will let Visonary use Mental Divergence and Enlighten every turn, which will let Haka use GP every turn.

Noted. Actions not confirmed, added note to my turn above.

I was taking a look at the incap abilities, and a few can really mess us over.

Tefnut: At the start of the villain turn, each player discards 1 card.

Geb: At the start of the villain turn, each player puts the top card of their hero deck on the bottom of their deck.

Isis: At the start of the villain turn, discard the top H cards of each hero deck.

There is one that can help us IF it activates first:

Set: At the start of the villain turn, play the top card of each deck in turn order, starting with the villain deck.

This would mean that in order for the combo to work, we can;t do AoE damage, but rather bring everyone down so that everyone can be taken out at once. This would mean it would take A LOT of time to setup (but we could be healing each round). The biggest concern with taking a long time would be to get the Ongoing destruction cards. Precog could push them back, but then they would come back to back at the end of the deck. We would need enough Ongoing to cover both, or a way to shuffle the decks together. Brain Burn wouldn't help because I would never survive the damage. One possibility might be to put out Decoy before Brain Burn, we shall see. Regardless, this will be a VERY long game if we survive, the question is can we declare victory or should we play it out?

EDIT: Also Atum: At the start of the villain turn, shuffle the villain trash into the villain deck. This would make Precog useless, and could devestate us if we can't get enough ongoings out.

We should always play it out, SotM has a habit of making awesome endings (both losses and wins).

I don't mind, but let's run the numbers. Haka can do 2 to 3 damage a turn, Fixer can do 5, and Tempy can do 3 (if he doesn't heal), for a grand total of 11 until we lose Ongoings. The villains will heal at least 3 a turn but could also add 1 or 2. So we have around 8 damage to one target (right now). So it would take around 15 rounds at least. With 6 cards in the villain trash, we have 18 turns left before a shuffle, or 16 turns (whoa barely, if everything works out perfectly) until we need to draw Ancient Magicks, which destroys Ongoings (actually less since some cards draw the top card of the villain deck). If we get lucky and both Ancients Magicks are put on the bottom soon, then we can skip Precog and drop Ongoings to fill them up (I think we can survive one right now). The only Environment card that can hurt us is Crushing Hallway, but we would just have FIxer dump his hand each time it came up. There are many other Environment cards that will help us draw even more cards.

First things first, we need to survive this turn.

Right, Precognition! Cards are Rise to Power, Death's Grasp, Taste of Immortality.

It's gotta be Taste of Immortality, right?  Even with the healing they wont do damage this turn

Yep. It was the only free card, and we got it! Nice drawing BHM!

EDIT: Ok, Tmepy's turn. I wouldn;t kill LH. 1) It provides Ongoing foddor. 2) It is the only way you can do damage without Squall right now. The big question though is what do you do. If you heal until everyone max's out, we could easily survive 2 Ancients Magicks, but the game would take much longer. Precog can make sure that the last 2 cards of the deck are Ancient Magicks. I think we can survive the first one right now, the question is the second. If we had enough HP it wouldn't be a problem. The other option would be, depending on how many Ongiongs we have right now, is to have everyone dump one the turn before (except Haka who needs to GP). I would put out MD and use it to get GP back so we can continue the combo. If the the card align early, and we know AM won't be the next card, I could play an Ongoing that round. So what does everyone think?

EDIT2: The other problem is how to take out everyone at once. I think we need everyone to be right around the same HP then we start hitting everyone every turn. We only need to get them below 10, when everyone hits them at once. Maybe we need to target the highest HPs first until everyone is about even, then we attack AoE. If that won't work, we could let them heal up then start taking them down. EIther way this will be a long game, but we should win.

Since we survived this round, I'm going to play Electrical Storm to help deal some damage since it's going to be a long game. As for Power, I'll use Localized Hurricane to wear down the highest HP. How about that?

Sounds good. The biggest issue right now is not killing any of them, but ES shouldn't be an issue. All it will do is minimize the healing they get each turn. If it becomes an issue, you can just use Freedom's Tempy's power to get rid of it...oooh and it's another Ongoing.

The question about which power you use will depend on what approach we should take. It might be a good idea to heal up before taking them out, just in case we get a bad draw, or we can start pounding them now. It would be safer to start healing first, but it would be a longer game.

I get what you mean about healing. But, I think so long as we're able to pull off the Ground Pound Combo, I'll opt for a more reckless play and pile on the damage.

Done updating. Wraith can continue.

Wraith will have Haka draw I think. Let’s give Haka as many cards as we can.

Great. Now, environment turn.

Let the Tendrils bite Haka!

We could use her incap power to put the Ground Pound in my trash on my deck so I could draw it next turn.  Seems like the most effiicent solution

I was going to say it wasn't needed, because Tempy will Reclaim next turn and Wraith will let you draw GP. However, I just realized that I might need the draw to get Precog back, since I used one this turn. If Wraith moves it now, Haka can naturally draw it on his turn, then I can use Wraith to draw Precog.

Haka has Ground Pound plus 5 other cards. Each turn, Haka needs to play Ground Pound and discard 2 cards, then draws 1 card (which usually is the other Ground Pound). If Wraith lets Haka draw 1 card, then each round, Haka will still be losing a net of 1 card. So, we can maintain Ground Pound for 4 more rounds?

And on the 5th round, Haka finishes off with Rampage. Can we do that?

Card drawing isn't a problem, because I can Enlighten Haka, which would give him an extra card every turn. There are also several Environment cards that will help us draw cards. Here is a problem though: I was trying to work it out, and realized that I cannot Precog every turn unless Tempy uses Reclaim this turn and every turn from now on. Someone double check this, but I don't think it will work out if we wait. Of course we can risk it and not play ut next turn (we should be able to survive it).

Won’t be back on until Thursday night, so please don’t wait and do my turn for me.

Did y'all decide what Wraith was doing?

Well I would say Tempy should play Reclaim instead. If he does then Haka should draw, if he doesn’t then we could bring back GP or have him draw.

EDIT: Ignore that. We can survive the first AM, and just need Precog to prevent the second. In the meantime, I can drop Ongoings to cover us. The worst possible situation is if the last card us AM and us the first card after a shuffle. Even then we should survive it if we start healing before.

Shall we continue? Wraith lets Haka draw 1 card?

Haka draws Enduring Intercession

Ouch.

Um, yeah, so...That's that, I think

Agreed...I will not be looking back and seeing if we could have stopped it. GG everyone.

Yeah, I don't know how much we could have done differently. I feel like I got as good of a draw as Fixer could hope for in this fight, but there was just way too much damage flying around . . .
